Sinopse

Recapturing the brilliance of the first volume of Short Stories , Ernest Hemingway shows here his ability to create realistic characters.

The first four stories in this volume are precisely the last I wrote. The others appear in the order in which they were originally published. There are several types of stories in this book. I hope the reader will find something they like. Rereading them now, I include among those I like best—not counting, incidentally, those that acquired such notoriety that professors included them in anthologies their students had to have for their literature courses, and those that were difficult to read or accept—The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber, Hills Like White Elephants, The Snows of Kilimanjaro, A Clean and Well-Lighted Place, and a story entitled The Light of the World, which no one much liked. There are others, of course—but if we don't like them, we shouldn't publish them. By going where one must go, doing what one must do, observing what there is to observe, anyone finds and identifies material and tools to write a story. As for me, I prefer to work and polish them a lot, I prefer to have to "To place them, so to speak, on a kind of anvil, hammer them until they are forged to my satisfaction, or even just to shape them on a pre-formed stone, and thus know I have something to write about: I prefer that to having that clear, shiny material ready-made and having nothing to say, or to having it clean and well-oiled, stored in the closet, but no longer in use. Then it is always necessary to use the anvil. I would like to live long enough to write three more novels and twenty-five more short stories. I know some very interesting cases." – Ernest Hemingway, 1938

Masterfully written, the stories in Tales: Volume 2 are the perfect example of the talent of this acclaimed author.

Sobre o autor

Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway é um dos pilares da literatura contemporânea mundial. Nascido em 1899, começou a escrever aos dezessete anos para um jornal. Quando os Estados Unidos entraram na Primeira Guerra Mundial, alistou-se como voluntário tornando-se motorista de ambulância voluntário no Exército da Itália.

Após ser ferido, recebeu uma condecoração do governo italiano. Ao voltar para os Estados Unidos, trabalhou como repórter para jornais americanos e canadenses, e então voltou para a Europa, cobrindo eventos históricos como a Revolução Grega.

Durante os anos 1920, tornou-se membro do grupo de expatriados americanos em Paris, que ele descreveu em seu primeiro livro, O sol também se levanta (1926). Ernest Hemingway recebeu o Prêmio Pulitzer em 1953 e foi agraciado com o Nobel de Literatura em 1954. Faleceu em 1961.
